Type Talk

The 16 Personality Types That Determine How We Live, Love, and Work by Otto Kroeger and Janet M Thuesen

The subtitle pretty much says it all. On the Myers Briggs Type Indicators grid I am ISFJ (introvert, sensor, feeling, judger). This book spends some time describing each type but mostly deals with how to type and motivate your coworkers and loved ones. I will need to read another book to understand my type better.

I did identify with the descriptions of my type- tendency to allow oneself to become a doormat (ouch), loyal, dutiful, good librarian (I totally called that), difficulty with change.

Chapters cover how to type others and how type affects us as lovers, parents, and coworkers, as well as summaries of all 16 types. Interesting as far as it goes. I do want to learn more about this.
